Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While Escape from Mirkwood Spiders has been slightly underperforming yearly growth when compared to other sets in The Hobbit, at an average annual growth rate of around 12%, this set is still a decent investment for most LEGO collector portfolios.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
The Brick Fan
“I think this is a very good addition to the Hobbit theme. Each of the minifigures have some great detailing, from their outfits to their hairpieces. The Mirkwood spiders are simple but they do resemble some scary looking spiders. The Mirkwood forest sections do add to the... More set since they're a bit on the small side and because more of the focus is on the characters themselves.”

“My overall view on this set is positive. If you liked the Lord of the Rings line, you'll like this set as well. It has a good balance of minifigures, parts, and features.”
